About keeping Spirits and Heels high

In my humble efforts to microblogging, this year called for some personal snippets from the life lessons until so far.

This year has been quite atypical. Post modernization of the will to survive, we have all come a long way. Taking asymmetrical breaks from life and striking the correct balance between the chores of the middle Earth and having peace with my soul, it has tiptoed few manifestations of realizations of how and what life should be.

We got one 2020 Spotify wrap and here’s my version.

1) About Love: Post my juggle to stay fit and coming back to stay with family after almost 3285 days, this has been the most deserving overvalued blessings. In this fragility of life, I have felt the fittest version of myself, even the college version ranks lower, the luxury of warm food cooked by mother underpinned by supporting her with daily household chores has truly left me with the most atmanirbhar version of me. Many have questioned me on how to love and why to love. The answer remains as simple as it could get, to make your soul happy. Do not create diversions, a human is a creation of God, loving the creation of God is to love God. Not that it is a direct passway to heaven but the joy of giving and loving has its own perks of satisfaction at a cosmic level. As an individual, the time is right to build the table and not just take a seat. If possible, do not forget but forgive more.

2) About Mental strength: Not taking life too seriously and not being afraid of core beliefs came almost like self-realization. The heaviness of keeping up on a professional front was suddenly replaced by the lightness of being a fresher. After a long overhaul of more than a year’s depression, having come to terms with being the normal or the 'sane' version was tough but family and friends aka the support system did not let me spiral back. Let go of who you are and you become who you might be. Remember that loyalty is the biggest asset (keep them closest). This year the mental struggle was a different one, resisting the temptations of losing the human touch of friends or all those traveling plans (which were substituted by a digital screen.) cocooning ourselves to the fortress, small or big. Our thoughts have the power to align our actions. Our actions decide on our society and culture. Be choosy about your vibes and try they are positive mostly. Make sure you have one habit each day that feeds your soul, you will be the only one responsible for your vibes.

3) Being vigilant: Pandemic had its shadow consequences but it did flourish many opportunities. Mere strong vigilance of the surrounding has indeed poured in some miracles, and window of opportunity. Be it love, life, work, or surviving the pandemic. Keep your senses and heart open and be kind, the world needs better human more than ever before. The only reverberating sound throughout being, hold the vision, and trust the process.

Remember: We plan, but God gets to decide. Keep your spirits and heels high =)

Word Porn: An understanding of luxury post quarantine. To miss a pleasant encounter with a stranger. What commercial pursuits will the luxury industries will prioritize when recoiling from our isolation? When all peacocking elitism of frivolity is again humbled by utility. The time for posture is past.
